Like I said last week I was planning on playing 20 $2,5 180 man SNG’s this week. I ended up playing 23 of them, cashing $251,30, or a net profit of $193,80, which comes down to a ROI of 337%. These results are obviously far better then I had expected (I expected to up around $25 after one week).

Here’s the graph:

I’m running pretty good and not playing all that bad. Not that many spectacular hands have been played, although I keep breaking my head over this one:

This hand was very crucial, I became chipleader after this hand and ended up winning the SNG. Obviously I think he’s stealing and A8 is too good of a hand to muck there. BUT, if I push do I only get called by better? The player was very active (33/33) and his steal attempts were at 100% (over 20 hands, mind you) so was this the right play? I still don’t know…

Maybe I’m not playing cautious enough and this will result in a major downswing later on. Another example of me playing a bit too reckless is the following hand:

After his push I’m only a slight favourite at best. I have a healthy stack, so maybe I should pass on this spot?

Many interesting questions I’m taking into the second week of the grind (although some might say that playing 20 SNG’s a week might not be considered an actual grind, lol.)
